5.NF.4 STANDARDS
• 5.NF.4a — Multiply Fractions and Interpret Products: Interpret the
product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts;
equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations a × q ÷ b. For
example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and
create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) =
8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd.)
• 5.NF.4b — Area with Fractional Side Lengths: Find the area of a rectangle
with fractional side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the
appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the
same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. Multiply
fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent fraction
products as rectangular areas.
